NEW YORK -- "We are not thinking about how we are going to close anyone out," Rangers manager Ron Washington said on Tuesday night, minutes after his club had reached a 3-1 lead in this ALCS. "We are going to go out there and play baseball, and whatever the game asks us to do, we'll do it. We are not coming to the ballpark tomorrow night with the only thing on our minds [being] closing somebody out. We are coming to the ballpark tomorrow with our minds on baseball and our minds reacting to whatever the game says we have to react to."
